Ahoy Captains! While Abandon Ship has been out for a few years now, we still like to release occasional updates to mark various anniversaries of our Early Access or Full release - this one isn't a "special" anniversary, but we still wanted to do it as the game means a lot to everyone that worked on it. First up, are three new vessels taking to the high seas: {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26759769/94442ea6a2d7d4329292a8422f843697ae2f4fbb.png The ships are of the Brig, Cutter and Schooner classes and they'll be roaming any standard battle encounters - capture the vessel intact to acquire the Visual Bluepri

Ahoy Captains! We thought we'd keep you in the loop about our plans as it's been a while since our last update: https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/551860/view/3672159223604827173 This October will mark our 5-year anniversary of the full release of Abandon Ship, and you'll know from our other anniversaries we like to give away free updates that coincide with them, so we're planning on doing something similar later this year. Recently we've been busy on our new game, which releases today. You may recall in our last free update one of the new ships was themed around this new game: {STEAM_CLA

Rewind 5 years to February 2018 and we released Abandon Ship into Early Access, so we thought it appropriate to mark the occasion with a new free update. The night we launched, we shot to 4th in the Global Top Seller charts, which was an amazing accomplishment for our little micro-studio to achieve on its debut title. What’s new? We’ve added three new ships to the game, meaning since our full release we’ve now expanded the roster with 15 free ships! Here’s what the latest additions look like: {STEAM_CLAN_IM

This patch is to fix a bug that was raised on the Steam forums about an issue with the Devilrock tutorial. If the player triggers the Devilrock event in the port, then opens up the Ship Management menu and removes all the mortars from their deck, then enters the event as usual they would become stuck.

{STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/26759769/57b2b68cac957a5339ca9ef2ed4bc2cca98ff21c.png Ahoy Captain, As we mentioned here, we're updating the game with some of the additions from our recent ports - the first of this is some general bug fixes: Fixed a bug with the AI demanding surrender. The option to choose surrender meant the player received a reward instead of a penalty. In the Haunted Revenge quest (in the Shattered Empire region) only three of the four gates would bar. This meant you could escape the map when you shouldn't have been able to. Polish translation polish - 4 missing strings have now been lo

For a recent trailer we thought it'd be cool to do our take on a classic sea shanty - but of course this being Abandon Ship it had to have a dark twist on it >:) You can find the soundtrack from our composer Aaron Miller here: https://store.steampowered.com/app/848370/Abandon_Ship__Official_Soundtrack/ If you already own it, then the new song should automatically download.

First up is the mobile version, which you can pre-order from the Apple Store here and the Google Play Store here. There's a few reasons we're posting about that on Steam: There's been some features for the new platforms to do with optional crew automation, camera zooming and panning in combat that if they're suitable, we'll look to getting in the PC version.
